"The hostel staff was nice and the beds were really comfy! They have a bar and free happy hour at 18 every night, which was generous. Location is great, and amenities are good. Only slight negative was the very smelly dudes in our shared dorm room - would definitely have needed some air freshener in there! 😷👣"

"Check-in was smooth and the location is nice - right next to Városliget (City Park). Plenty of public transport in the vicinity and a 40ish minute walk into town. At times it felt like the staff didn't really want to be there - puts a little dampener on your stay. Our room (mixed 3-bed dorm) was detached from the main hostel building so we felt a little on the outside but no big issue. The room would benefit with some AC - at 30°C outside the room heats up quickly!"
